Teal report

[Tete Dur]

But wouldn't it being dry like everyone is saying help out those that have water? Still, people with water aren't seeing many birds. I hope they get here soon. I can only hunt the first 7 days then I will be stuck at work.

Tete, teal season is by far my favorite. Here is my 2 pennies on the drought effect. When we have a ton of rain and water everywhere, the bird hit pastures and spread out. When we have conditions like this, the birds find little pot holes, or flooded cuts but the "area" doesn't hold as many birds. If you are the only farm in 5 miles to have a "cut" flooded, after those first few shots, those birds are moving out. Then you have to wait, and hope! We will have birds, it just might not be as fast as years past.

I feel exactly. It's almost a sense of happiness not to see them "holding" in our areas. When gunfire rings out..."here dey come"
